huzaim2006 · 04-12-2012, 02:33 AM

I downloaded fedora 16 recently and instaled in the Oracle virtualbox as a virtual machine.
The os is running fine , but when i used the terminal for c++ , an error message give while the compilation
"bash:g++:command not found"..

can any body help me to fix this ?

fedora 16 was 615MB .. is it the iso without the libraries for c++?

if not why this error comes ?

I think you need to install a compiler (g++)

I don't use Fedora, but seeing how it's RedHat based is there no "yum install g++" or something of that sort?

No 'gcc-c++' or 'libstdc++-devel' on the cdrom. The DVD has more packages.

Make a package list with install dates : rpm -qa --last > last-packages
Sorted : rpm -qa --last | sort > last-sorted
A simple list : rpm -qa | sort > installed-packages

Installing packages on Fedora : 1) su <password> ; 2) yum install <package>

The c++ compiler and dependencies : yum install gcc-c++

.

its not clear for me knudfl , ... so the conclusion is ?
1.we have the libraries in the iso
2. we do not have the libraries in the iso
???

# 8 :
It's "One library" = libstdc++-devel, and it's not on the very limited live cd.

The c++ library alone : No compilation. The package gcc-c++ is required.

i downloaded libstdc++-devel-4.6.2-1.fc16.i686 .. so where to place it ?

I gave you a link about it and also it is already written here:

so you need to type (as root): yum install gcc-c++

please try it and send us the result
